The following sketch is called,
" The Portrait of the True Gentle
man" 1t was found in an old man
or house in Gloustcrshire, England,
written and framed. and hung over
the mantle-piece of a sitting-room
"The true gentleman is Gods serv-
ant, the worlds master, and his own
man. Virtue is his business, study
his recreation, contentmeDt his re-
ward. God is his Father, Jesus
Christ his Savior, the SAINTS his breth-
ren, and all that need him bis friend.
Devotion is his chaplain, Chastity his
chamberlain, Sobriety his butler,
temperance his cook, Hospitality his
housekeeper, Providence his steward
Charity his trearurer, Piety his mis-
tress of the house, and Discretion
his porter to let in or out, as most fit.
Thus is his whole made up of virtue,
and he is the true master of the
house. He is necessitated to take
the world on his way to heaven, and
he walks through it as fast as he can,
anc all his business by the way is to
make himself and others happy.
Take him in two words "a man and

is laying himself open to temptation

THE WORK OF THE FESTIVE
CIGARETTE.
The GOVERNMENT STEAMER III. l.
ABBOTT BURNT TO THE WA
TER's EDGE.

About quarter to twelve o'clock
last Thursday night, when almost
the entire community had retired,
an alarm OF fire was sounded, which
was quickly responded to by the
entire male portion Of the town in
an incredibly short space of time.
A still northeast wind was blowing
at the time which sent the sparks
flying fast and furious directly over
the most thickly built part of the
town, which added to the threaten
ing danger, and increased the gene
raj apprehension aud alarm for the
salty of the town, as each and every
one hurriedly left his comfortable
bed and pressed toward the scene of
the fire, which was discovered to be
on board the steamer II. l.. Abbott,
IN the service Of the Mississippi Riv-
er Commission, which was lyilg at
our landing. The boat with her
crew had been dispatched on some
business up the river during the day,
and returning late in the evening,
the officer in charge, in order to be
with his family, who reside in town,
and as precautionary measure, tied
up to the bank in the upper part of
town, rather than attempt to run
down between the dykes t. her moor
ing at the fleet near San Souci. AT
the hour above mentioned, the two
watchnan who were lef, in charge,
discovered fire issuing from tue pilot
house, and which spread with such
rapldity, that by the time they could
cause All alarm to be given, the en-
tire cabin was wrapped IN flames.
As there had been no light or fire
in the pilot house, the watchmen are
Of the opinion the fire originated from
the universal cigarette stump in the
splttoon.
BY constant and careful watching
during the progress of the burning,
the hot ses nearest the bank and i'm
mediatoly exposed to danger, were
prevented from being fired by the
flying sparks, and the town saved
from destruction. A general sense
Of relief is felt over our narrow es-
cape, and while the regret for Uncle
Sans loss is sincere, the opinion is
general that he can better afford it
than the citizens Of Osceola could
the loss of their homes.

made fast to shore, having parted,
the two watchmen, Mess. Cannon
and Boyles, with rare presence of
mind, and at the imminent risk of
their lives, when the entire boat was
enveloped in flames, made fast an
other line to the stern and kept her
from floating down lower, where no
means were at hand to have prevent

Haste To Efe Esscll.

Too many of our young men are
looking for some short and easy road
to wealth. The wish to reach the
goal without running the race, to
grasp the prize without going thro'
a long and patient training. This is
a great mistake. and as mischievous
as it is great. 1t is a mistake, for
the cases are few--very few indeed
in which men grow rich rapidilly
and also honestly. Young men must
not suffer themselves TO he deluded
by these few cases. they must look
upon them as the exceptions to the
rule. They must make up their
minds that success in anything fol-
lows long and patient toll, and that
success in gaining riches comes from
hard work, honest dealing, steadiness
prudence, aud economy. The wise
man Of Israel long centuries ago saw

Ii seems to tne, that the concep-
tion of duty to the state, which Is de-
rived from religious precept, involves
sense of personal responsibility
which is of the greatest value in the
operation of the government by the
people. Ii viii bc fortunate day
for our country when every citizen
feels that he has an ever present duty
to perform to the state, which he can
not escape from or neglect without
being false to his religious as well as
to his civil allegiance"
Such is President Cleveland's idea
of the relation Of religion to the gov
ernment, as expressed in recent
letter to the Catholic Club. Though
the American Government recog-
nizes no state church, the general
sentiment OF both people aud officials
is that religion is necessary to the
best government and the best citi-
zcnship. Chautauquan.

NEW YORK, September 24.-About fifty
prominent steamship owners, yachtsmen,
merchants and ex-marine revenue officers
yesterday held meeting in the United
States circuit court here, and discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing naval re-
serve. Elbridge T. Gerry, commodore
of the New York Yacht club, was made
chairman. The object of the meeting was
stated to be the consideration of the Or
ganization of a naval reserve, which in
time of war would be an auxiliary navy,
just as the militia is auxiliary to the regu-
lar army. The reserve navy of England
was cited, with it's $4,000 men, and the
like precautions of Canada were referred
to. The steam yachts of the New York
Yacht club would make the finest torpedo
boats in the world. G. W. Miller, mana
ger of the Stonington line, offered series
of resolutions approving the establish
ment by congress at its next session of a
naval reserve, to consist of officers and
men from the mercantile marine, yachts
men and watermen generally, and of YES
sells to be built with reference to use in
time of war as auxiliary to the regular
navy.

Leland Stanford, Charles f. Crocker, Sec
ond vice-president of the Southern Pa
cific; Manager A. W. Towne and Mrs.
Stanford left Tacoma this morning for
Portland. In an interview with Tacoma
reporter, Senator Stanford said relative
to the coming university:
at will be built with sole regard to the
poor. No rich mans son or daughter
will want to come there. The houses for
comfort and convenience of my guests
will be plain, but substantial, and due re-
gard will be had to every want of the pu-
pills, but nothing ornate or grand will be
allowed. This institution will absorb my
wealth and be monument to the mem
ory of my son. The poor alone will be
welcome. 1t will not be built for the
rich"
Senator Stanford also said that he was
in favor of naming Washington Territory
"Tacoma" when 1t was admitted into the
| Union as state.

100 at Rogers mines, in Pike co 1nty;
about 100 at the Beidermier mines in
Pike county, and 700 or 800 in the mines
around Evansville. The Washington
miners demand 60 cents per ton for
miners and $1.55 per day for day hands.
The miners below the Ohio l. Mississippi
railroad are all out on strike. Their
special demand is that mines south of
the Ohio & Mississippi be operated on
the same scale as the ZINES of this point,
that is, the scale fixed by miners and
owners. Federation companies have all
refused the demand and the miners have
held meetings each day and are deter
mined to hold out. Arbitration, however,
may, some way, solve the problem before
many days. Miners in the Evansville
region demand an increase of 12ls cents
per ton. The price paid them formerly
was 7719 cents. Beidermier's men got
their demand, but they refuse to go to
work until district troubles are settled.
Miners have also demanded pay every
two weeks.
